Civil War Indian wars to read for a review. I am
reading "Custer Fell Here" by Sandy Barnard that is a

read just in case he asks. I am also ...

It left a generally good impression with me tho you can shoot a certain number of holes in anything Hollywood does. I believe it was one of the first big jobs that Riley Flynn, "reenactor coordinator," put together cavalry for. Riley tried very hard to keep his work on projects as "authentic" as ...

Most people who I have talked with who know the mining era, etc. think the look and feel is better than usual. Hollywood will always opt for a story told over historical accuracy. NOBODY believes they swore that much. I have only watched parts of a couple of episodes and could not take the over the ...

As a side note, I was in the Grierson quarters at Fort Gibson, I.T. last Saturday. The COQ was built in 1867 and she was the first to live in it. It is an impressive, 2 story stone building in relatively good shape. Must have been the best in the I.T. at that time. The current owners live in it and ...

"The First Sioux War"
I have been reading a book to review for "Nebraska History." It is "The First Sioux War, The Grattan Fight and Blue Water Creek 1854-1856" by Paul N. Beck from University Press of America, 2004.
There seems to be more interest in pre Civil War Indian War topics. An acquaintance Eli Paul has also ...

I didn't know there were any creeks in Looeasyana. Thought they was all byooze (hope I spelt that right).
For some years, I have been looking for the last Indian/Army fight in OK up west of Alva. It was noted by the Army that it was fought on Turkey Crk. No current resident knows it by that name ...

Have not heard of a Blue Beaver. Maybe that is what an otter looks like when he gets really cold.
Of course, people have a habit of calling a stream one thing and then somebody else changes it. Hard Pull creek just west of this post is now called Sand Creek. The term Sand Creek might be the most ...

The last Radziminski is a couple of miles north of Mt. Park, Ok. and back west. It is just over the mountain from my maternal grandparents farm. I think there were 3 named so as they worked there way up Otter Crk from the Red River. No permanent buildings built. There was a Camp Beach or Fort Otter ...
